So it was during the ‘90s when Amitabh Bachchan’s stardom was witnessing a slow yet apparent decline. Then came Khuda Gawah, a film that was brilliantly written according to him, and as soon as he read the script, he knew who should play Benazir to Badshaah Khan. It was none other than the English Vinglish actress. According to a report in DailyO, Amitabh Bachchan sent a truck full of flowers to woo Sridevi and push her to sign Khuda Gawah as the lead actress. But, when the roses reached Sridevi, initially, she refused the film because she felt her role was too weak as compared to Amitabh Bachchan. So she kept a straightforward demand to do the film – a double role!
